Clap your hands.

College is sounding better & better now. Enrolement yesterday went pretty well, besides seeming to take far too long. The actual process didn't take long at all, it was just waiting between the parts of it. I must of been in that library for 40 odd minutes. Still, im down for the choices that I wanted and i can't wait to start them up. Ive changed one choice though, Film Studies - English literature. The english is a traditional so it will open more up for me in the future, thats something I feel more comfortable having. I was just worried about wanting a slightly different path and not being able to take it. So anyway, Freshers day is next thursday so il be able to see who im going to be spending the next few years with. Should be interesting (oh god please be okay). Then the day after that everything kick starts. sweet.

Ive been trying to draw a little bit here and there and so far I have done it every so often. It's quite hard atm though what with my room being all pretty messed up. And i wont be able to officially re-start what i was doing before for a good few weeks just yet. Once kierans left though it should be back to normal
& a helluva lot cooler up here.

so yeah, the next month holds good things hopefully & i can't wait to start it all fresh.

good.

Yesterday was results day, I was pretty nervous like the night before and stuff and so when it came around I was like relieved but also kinda worried. but yeah my results came out.
  • English A
  • English Lit A
  • Science A
  • Additional Science B
  • Maths C (thank fuck)
  • Graphics A
  • Music B
  • Ict Pass
  • Psychology C
  • Rli C
  • French D (lol)
So yeah, i was actually really happy with how it all turned out. Tbh the only one i took notice of was my maths. Ive hated maths since forever & i really didn't want to have to re-take it. And now i don't. Plus i was surprised with my science and english which was nice. Im really happy.

Stuff everywhere else has also been cool. Ive been seeing alot of my friends the past week and it's been nice. Specially since it was ones birthday. Stuff was cool.
Im also in the process of moving up into the loft as well. From what ive worked out its going to be pretty cool once im up and everything is sorted out. it's gunna be alot more relaxed and fun than the old room. I can't wait

None Shall Pass.

The trip out to alton towers wasn't as bad as I was expecting it to be. I ended up actually enjoying it quite alot and the place is pretty cool. I hadn't realised that it was mainly a theme park, I mean i knew that stuff was there but i thought it was mainly like walking around and stuff with the odd ride here and there. Im not usually a rollercoaster person either but i ended up going on all the 'impressive' ones. This one called Air was awesome. It pretty much suspends you lying down and then flys you real fast around, going down real close to the floor then up to huge heights. I fucking loved that man, Its the closest im ever going to get to flying and it was cool. Also my dads brother David and his family are pretty cool guys. I was worried about not being able to understand any of the crazy irish jig but actually i picked it up almost straight away. The hotel was fun too. I had my own room with my older brother, General fun insued.

So yesterday I then had my trip up to Southampton. It was a really cool day in the end. the five of us just walked about mainly into Forbidden planet & then Routeone. I bought some pretty awesome stuff too. I got these two comics, Batman: Gotham by Gaslight & Green Lantern: No Fear. Ive read them now and they both are really good. THEY WERE COOOOOOOOL. I got some new stuff for my skateboard too, now it runs smooth baby, like the cole train. yeah.

oh yeah, also that shitty little bitch is mine too.

right, well im gunna go and draw and then sleep and stuff.

The Beginning Is The End Is The Beginning

Ive watched the Watchmen trailer far too many times since its come out now. I think its like 33 times now or something, w/e it is, its ridiculous. It does look like an awesome film. I saw The Dark Knight recently and it was pretty much perfect. I know it sounds like im going with the hype but Ledger pulled of the Joker as best as I can imagine, he was fucking awesome. Even the parts that wern't very 'cinematic' were really involving because of Ledger. I just thought that movie was awesome.

so with that I can only expect great things from Watchmen. Its from the same director as 300 or something and that film was really good. Its another year from releasing too which I dont really mind cause its more time for it too become super cool

Right, im not gunna be posting on you for two days or something cause im having crazy fun at alton towers guys
BYE, LOVE YOU

oh,

Photobucket
Let me just say that, in no big headed way, the scanner does me no justice. It took the quality of the picture and messed that bitch up.
still, now you can see that ive been out of practise for a few weeks
this time im going to actually poststuff up on here. I might even look into a new scanner, a good one

02 TRAS 3

Well two days of work finished. Its another £60 for the pocket so its days well spent as far as im concerned/care. Also, since im pretty psyched about Forbidden Planet now, it'll give me some money to spend on comics or w/e. I havn't been to the one in southampton before, only londons one. I loved the one in london and il probably like it more this time round because im much more into the stuff there now. Only problem i have with buying comics there is the ones i will probably want to buy i could maybe get cheaper at Ians now so il have to wait and see. If not il spend the money at Route one so I can fix up my skateboard. Southampton will be cool anyway though, w/e happens.

tonight is more drawing. I think il stick with my arms + face thing for the moment.
noses are fucking tricky.

Walker

The past few days have been pretty cool. It was my brothers 18th on wednesday which was kinda cool. Met some random people, started kinda awkward, but yeah once we got talking and stuff it ended up being pretty good. Plus party food is always a win. I missed the cake, even if it is a lie.

Ive been getting urges to skateboard more recently. I really want to get into it more but its hard finding time to do it. Id be happy just to be able to move more fluently around on it. At the moment everything I do on it looks pretty messy and just kind of annoying. Il make time for it though, Ive got weeks to catch up on it still.

Drawing is coming back into focus now as well. Ive finally found the drive i need to really push with it. It's still going kinda shitty though. Everytime i do something i think is getting better, the next part i do always sucks but i guess its just building up the skills on each part. Right now im sticking with faces and bodies since thats probably most of what id draw anyway. Ive just been sketching stuff out, usually later on at night and w/e,

il update more later or something
